The code LNK marks Lincoln Airport in Nebraska's capital, but the field's busiest hardware is military: Lincoln Air National Guard Base hosts the 155th Air Refueling Wing and its KC-135R Stratotankers. The long runways are a Cold War inheritance from its years as a Strategic Air Command bomber base. On the civil side, Lincoln links to connecting hubs and reopened an expanded six-gate terminal in 2024 under the 'LNK Next' project, yet there is no dedicated air-cargo operation; the on-field FedEx site is an LTL trucking terminal, not a freighter ramp. Genuine air freight routes about 55 miles (90 km) northeast to Omaha Eppley – FedEx air center, Amazon Air, Foreign-Trade Zone 19 – via Interstate 80. For forwarders, LNK moves people, not pallets.
